Rubioso N, Newest Addition to Brookhouse Stallion
Collection
March 1, 2003
After
the recent sale of the complete Gestut Im Niedern, home
of trainer Conrad Schumacher and rider Ellen Bontje,
to Paul Schockemoele, the British Brookhouse Stud acquired
several of Im Niedern's stallion, including Gestion
Silvano N. Latest purchase is the Oldenburger stallion
Rubioso N. Leading lady behind the wealthy Brookhouse
Stud is Emma Hindle, a British native, but living in
Germany at Gut Neuhof in Dreieich.
Hindle started purchasing a large collection of top
dressage horses in the late 90s, including Wie Weltmeyer,
Diamond Hit, Silvano and now Rubioso. Although Hindle
posses excellent horse potential and top class trainer's
assistence, she has not yet been able to produce those
ultimate scores that would grant her a highly respected
position on the dressage scene. However, this might
drastically change now that Hindle can especially ride
the talented Diamond Hit.
As
a youngster, Rubioso N was trained by Ingrid Berger
who built up an impressive last of achievement (between
the age of 4 and 6 years, they had 33 wins and became
reserve National Champion in 1998). Ellen Bontje trained
and showed the Oldenburg registered Rubioso N (by Rubinstein
x Almeo x Vollkorn xx) at Prix St Georges level, but
never competed him any higher. Rubioso N possesses good
PSG skills, but seems to lack the brilliance to move
on to Grand Prix.
